    Description

      The archival structure of installable packages is huge, and consists of very many files.

      Especially on a Windows host, downloading/opening/interpreting the individual files is painful and takes a significant chunk of time. 

      In order to minimize network and file I/O required, the use of a single aggregated archive file shall be evaluated.  

      Technical issues to investigate: 

      • how to build the aggregated file
      • where to store the aggregated file
      • when to build the aggregated file (can it be manually triggered when needed)

      One file is likely not enough, as licensing (opensource, ad/dc, enterprise, etc) needs to be taken into account when providing the list of installable components to the installer. 

      This is a general issue, and not specifically tied to the GUIDe requirements.
